Hong Kong Mahjong General A hand which is merely complete is scored at 0 fan (Chicken Hand).

If the winning tile is Self-Picked (not a discard), 1 fan. All Up/Concealed Hand (no melded Chows, Pungs or Kongs can go out on discard) 1 fan Whenever you make a Kong you always pick up a fresh tile (from the Kings Wall/Dead Wall) to even out your hand. If that tile causes you to win, you get the 1 fan for Self-Pick plus a 1 fan bonus. Whenever an opponent converts a melded Pung to a Kong, that fourth tile is available to you to complete your hand. This is known as Robbing the Kong and earns a 1 fan bonus.

The Game A game consists of 4 rounds: the East round, the South, the West, and the North. Within a round, each players seat is designated the East seat, the the South seat, etc., as each hand is played, except that the W inds dont rotate if the player whose seat is East is the winner or if no one wins (Dead Hand). A complete game, then, is four rounds of four Winds each. A half game (East round, South round) can be chosen to shorten the length. The wall should be 18 tiles long, stacked two high (17 tiles long if not using Flowers/Seasons). Determine who will be East. Build the wall, East throws 3 dice. Count counter-clockwise. Then count from the right side of the wall to create the break. Starting with the dealer take 4 tiles at a time moving clockwise though the wall (but counter-clockwise around the table). When every player has 12 tiles, everyone grabs 1 tile more with the dealer grabbing 2 tiles. You can only Chow from the player on your left, unless you can Win. Pung trumps Chow, Mahjong trumps all.
